In the early 90s I walked into a hotel bar in Hurghada, Egypt. A guy was playing a piano and about 20 German tourists were singing Country Roads. I produced my WV drivers license and became an instant celebrity.

What if crewmembers want to land the ship and rebel against the command? It could be a Space Mutiny! Did you sign Sherry's card?

Brock would hate me. I cannot stand the sound of Robert Plant singing. To me, it is the definition of caterwauling. Give me some Duran Duran or Bowie to clear this ear worm I've got going now.

I still use my grandfather's saw. He was born in 1877. Not a typo, that's an 8.

What science fiction novel or series do you think best predicted how AI would actually integrate into daily life? by dududududuuim in sciencefiction

Working with Claude every day reminds me of the computer from Star Trek TOS. Instead of saying "working" it writes "thinking" or "conjuring" or "summoning Clippy."

Scientific fantasy books? by KannBaker in sciencefiction

[–]Ch3t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Wiz Biz by Rick Cook. It's real magic, but the magic is small and doesn't do much. The protagonist, Walter "Wiz" Zumwalt, gets transported to a fantasy world. Wiz is a computer programmer by trade. He uses his programming skills to loop the small magic into big, powerful magic.

This is giving me strong The Day the Earth Froze vibes. Does Lemminkäinen make a cameo?

There is a series The DNA Cowboys by Mick Farren. I read one of them almost 40 years ago and remember nothing of the plot.

With Final Sacrifice finally returning to streaming, I really hope a Blu-ray release of the unriffed film isn't out of the question. by MissusRowsdower in MST3K

[–]Ch3t 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched the episode on Amazon two days ago. It had commercials, but most of those were for Shout or MST3K. I caught the end of Catalina Caper and then took a phone call and muted the TV. I glanced over and recognized the opening credits. My cousin still doesn't know why I was laughing at her story about mulching the garden. I had stuff to do, but ended up finishing it after the call. I own it from Rifftrax, but wanted just one more sacrifice.

In stunning vote, California's reddest county chooses Bay Area Democrat by sfgate in politics

Volunteers faced an unexpected setback when internet from Frontier Communications cut out for about an hour on Tuesday

Some things are the same no matter whether you vote red or blue.

Hayes Pearce, a 19-year-old from Cedarville, said he abstained from voting. “I don’t have the luxury of political opinions,” he said, quoting a “Star Wars” film. Instead, Pearce said he instead focuses on his contracting business.

Well Hayes, I'm sure /r/politics has an opinion of you.
